Balloon-blowing exercises in 90/90 bridge position with a ball.Buteyko breathing exercises management
What this trial is about
In asthma, the airways in the respiratory system can experience inflammation and constriction, causing increased difficulty in expelling air during exhalation. This results in disruptions to respiratory parameters, exercise intolerance, and a diminished overall quality of life.Engaging in balloon-blowing exercises while in a 90/90 bridge position with the use of a ball will lead to enhanced pulmonary function and quality of life in individuals with asthma.
